Hi Scott,

What started out as a question is now turning into an application Smilie

Thanks I had tried it like that & it worked (the procedure call). Guess its a bit OTT wanting it in 1 connection when speed isn't even important with the task. The fail part is not shown in the code I have provided here. Inside the loop another script is called which was made before I came here. This script takes details about the 24 databases specified in the loop; the only detail I'm concerned about is the actual size of the database but I assume there's more. This information is then inserted into a table.

In the email_procedure I then do a select statement on this table requesting those 24 tables, I then remove (minus) those which have data entered for the current day. If there's no data then the information failed to collect & so these names are sent off in an email so that someone can see what's wrong.

Hope this explains it.
